David Codrea has revealed that President Obama has so little regard for the United States Marines risking their lives under his command life that they were forced to dismantle their already empty parade rifles for his second inauguration parade. This is nothing less than a slap in the face of the Corps:
“Didn’t know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!”
The email linked to a YouTube video of the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade, embedded in this column, featuring Bravo Company Marines from the Marine Barracks Washington. Sure enough, the observation in the email is confirmed by watching the video, with screen shots provided in the photo and slide show accompanying this article.
This prompted an internet search to see if others had also noticed, and the Blur-Brain blog had.
“The bolts have been removed from the rifles rendering them unable to fire a round,” the post stated. “Apparently Obama’s Secret Service doesn’t trust the USMC. Simply searching each guy to make sure he didn’t have a live round hidden on him wasn’t enough, they had to make sure the guns were inoperable.
Obama doesn’t trust the very men who put their lives on the line to serve their country. I guess it shouldn’t be that much of a shock. Untrustworthy people find it very difficult to believe that other men have honor.

Isn't this just being cautious by the Secret Service? Seems like they were doing their jobs. Certainly no one from the USMC would want to harm the President of the country they swore to protect but there could be an imposter, or something. You never know.
That is most ridiculous. I can understand not having any rounds in the rifles for various reasons but to actually have the bolt removed and visible to the general public looks silly. Not only does it look silly but as was stated previously it looks like an obvious lack of trust. Trust in the same men and women who would give their lives for this country! Maybe in the future they could use some variation of the rifles which would render them safe but look real. If not, they could take the! bolts out and paint the tips of the barrel orange and really look rediculous!

Seriously! Are you a liberal moron that voted for Obama! You must be with that idiotic comment.
Other than the fact that Obama knows that he's doing things that he deserves to be shot for, then it's business as usual. He's conveying the rules, and law abiding folks will abide(Military). but there may be one who does not!
Wake up people. We now have a president that is disarming American troops. To my knowledge it's never been done before. This means that the Marine commanders are nothing but ass sucking figure-heads with no testicles. Under Obama, there is no honor to serve in the military. By today's standards, marines are just a bunch of suck up little boys trying to be like real men who serve in the Army. Marines should be ashamed
8:32 P.M., I think we all know who the real imposter is, Don't we.
Say that to the next Marines face when you meet one. I've got a couple of friends that would live to hear those words out of your mouth.

I can tell YOU fo a fact (Everyone at 8th and I, as well as the Marine Silent Drill Team, stationed at the Navy Yard) used their M-1 garand to qualify annually, to train in the field, to drill on the parade deck. This was our TO weapon. 1962-1966. the pict is a phony! No Marine fron 8th and I would ever carry his piece at (right shoulder arms) in that position. Someone want to show a bolt-less weapon, and the rifle has to be turned in such a position as this to accomplish THEIR aim. PHONY/COMPUTER ENHANCED. Wonder wh benifits from such a LIE??
9:58 You are completely wrong. Both in facts about the rifle carriage and in your obvious defense and planting of misinformation to support Obama.
You are the phony my friend.
Photo's of the Inaugural parade are available everywhere on the net. I have sent one to Joe in hopes he will post it. Search yourself to see the pics of Marines being subjected to the indignity of being dis-armed and forced to march a parade on display to the world with their rifles dismantled!
Obviously Obama is a paranoid little man that knows what he is doing to the country is completely vile and rooted in hate and revenge.
I know those Marines will protect my family and this nation more than the idiot in the white house!
The administration is afraid they might want to do the country a favor!
We have talked to several retired members from different branches of the service who told us that it is not customary for weapons to be loaded during a parade. Under normal circumstances, the firing pins are removed from weapons unless they are taken into battle or used on the firing range.
We were able to identify three different rifles used by the U.S. Marines in this parade and have images below taken from video of the parade.
The first group had M1 Garands with bolts removed and bayonets fixed.
The two marines in the color guard are shouldering the Springfield 1903 bolt action rifle with the bolt handle clearly visible.
The third group had M-16 rifles with the ammunition magazines removed in order for the weapons to be shouldered. (with bolts in place)

Believe what you will. But whatever you do, don't let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy.
